Who knew? Ravens kicker Tucker has an incredible singing voice
It's no secret Justin Tucker has a pretty good leg. The Ravens' kicker made the Pro Bowl in 2013, holds the NFL record for longest indoor field goal with a 61-yard kick and has a career field-goal accuracy rate of 87.2 percent.
As it turns out, his voice might be even better.
The 26-year-old Tucker made a guest appearance Thursday at the Baltimore Basilica's Christmas concert and belted out a stunning baritone rendition of "Ave Maria." Marvel at the voice of an angel in the video below:
According to ESPN, Tucker's talent has been requested before, by both the Baltimore Symphony and New York Opera, but he had turned down previous requests. And Baltimore conductor Edward Polochick said he expected the same in this case. So how did the Basilica get Tucker?

"They said, 'Well, somebody on the committee knows somebody who knows somebody who knows the handler of Justin Tucker,'" Polochick told ESPN. "I said, 'Then tell the somebody to tell the somebody to tell him that the Archbishop wants him to sing this year.'"
Polochick also told ESPN that the Basilica had to add seating due to the interest in Tucker's performance.
He certainly didn't disappoint.
